Reddit mentions of Finware XT60 XT-60 6 Pair Connectors Male Female Bundled with 5mm Heat Shrink Tubing (red and Black)

This is the drone that I have built:

Been slowly building my first quad over the past month or so. Just when I have time. I bought a cheap carbon fiber kit off amazon. I will list everything I have bought so far.

Fly Sky FS-i6 Transmitter https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00VE3PZ3Y/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Fly Sky FSia6b RX (need this to run PPM instead of PWM): https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00VE3Q3XU/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

LHI quad Kit with ESC's, Motors and Flight Controller: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B010FMGUS8/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Now the above kit comes with a CC3D flight controller, after some research, I decided that I would use a Naze32 rev6 board instead. I purchased that from Hobby king, I will list all hobbyking purchases after amazon.

These are all the hobby king stuff that I bought:

Besides a lipo charger, the above will get you flying! Below is everything needed for the FPV aspect! I used to run RC cars so luckily I had a lipo charger from those days

Now this is prolly the most basic, beginners fpv setup that you can buy... Its perfect for learning and crashing lol. I have about 3 flights with mine so far, about 4 batteries. Buy props lol, lots of props. Already had to change 1 arm too.

You need:

• The Carvepower setup from your link
  
• Have to buy batteries extra from eBay
  
• Some parts to put together the CnR cable that goes from the Carvepower to your board:
  1.) XLR connector like this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00067JJ8Q/
  2.) Some long enough wire, for example: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00UR0N370/
  3.) One XT60 connector: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01E9HM7NC/
  4.) Some sort of quick disconnect plug, example: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006ZOIJ0S/ (this is so that it can easily disconnect if you crash without damaging the cable)
  Then just solder those parts together and you're ready to go.
  
  PS: This case is optional but it perfectly fits 2 carvepower battery cases and the solar charger device + cable: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N6N3J8D/

Here's some that ship via Amazon Prime: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01E9HM7NC/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_dp_ss_3?pf_rd_p=1944687442&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe-1&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B005FAPYXS&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=QGZ6F6JXSQ8DRTGM8ADM

I did this mod yesterday on my Monoprice Maker Select V2.1

I bought this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01E9HM7NC/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Disassembled printer

Used needle-nose pliers to pull the entire connector (while still plugged in) directly away from the board. It takes a little wiggling but the green and orange parts of the plug should eventually work their way off the metal posts still attached to one-another. (note, no heat was required to do this)

Solder on the female end of the plug to the board in it's place. Solder wires to the male plug.

Repeat (power & hotbed connectors)

Total of 8 solder locations.

Done in about 30 minutes with very minimal soldering skills and minimal disassembly.

Edit: Also worth noting that the listing for X60 connectors I linked came with red and black heat shrink tubing.

This is what you're talking about, right? Get a multiple pack, always good to have excess!

Thank you for the more detailed information. A lot of the explanations that say what to do are always AFTER it's failed, not before. And since I don't know a lot about electrical or boards in general it's all Greek to me.

Before I go breaking my board:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/y6d8at28o7njnjf/2016-09-12%2007.53.17.jpg?dl=0

The issue is with the connector to the left of the one labeled "Power" in my picture above. I need to break the green plastic connector (directly connected to the board) and leave the pins. Then Solder these pins to the posts sticking out the bottom of the XT60 female connectors. Something like: https://www.amazon.com/Finware-Female-Bullet-Connectors-Battery/dp/B01E9HM7NC/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1484342494&sr=8-6&keywords=XT60+connector

Then solder the wires to the pins of the male XT60 connector, plug, set it and forget it. Correct?

I can't imagine there being a lot of room from the board to the XT60 connector pins. That's going to be rough for a novice solderer like me. Pre-tinning the pins on the female side will be VERY necessary.
